Course Objectives	To provide an overview of earthquake engineering principles as applied to the analysis and design of structures. Applicable concepts from seismology will be introduced including significant features of seismic ground motion.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students will have an understanding of the fundamental factors controlling the response of structures subjected to ground motion. Students will be able to formulate the equation of motion of single (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems Students will be able to apply numerical integration schemes to calculate the response history of a linear SDOF system subjected to earthquake ground motion Students will be able to apply modal analysis to calculate the response history of the required response parameters. Students will be able to apply the response spectrum analysis to obtain the peak values of the required response parameters. Students will be able to write MATLAB programs to calculate the response of SDOF and MDOF systems subjected to excitations.
Course Content	Seismic ground motion, introduction to earthquakes, causes of earthquake, seismic waves, factors affecting earthquake motion at a site, prediction of motion at a site, recording and processing of earthquake ground motion; single degree of freedom systems, formulation of the equation of motion, free vibration analysis.
